Manga and Anime Reasearch

Manga are comics created in Japan or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. They have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art. In Japan, people of all ages read manga. The medium includes works in a broad range of genres: action-adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, suspense, detective, horror, and business/commerce, among others. Since the 1950s, manga has steadily become a major part of the Japanese publishing industry representing a 406 billion yen market in Japan in 2007 (approximately $3.6 billion) and ¥420 billion ($5.5 billion) in 2009. Manga have also gained a significant worldwide audience including Europe, the United States Canada, France and many other places. Manga stories are typically printed in black-and-white, although some full-colour manga exist. In Japan, manga are usually serialized in large manga magazines, often containing many stories, each presented in a single episode to be continued in the next issue. If the series is successful, collected chapters may be republished in paperback books called tankōbon. A manga artist typically works with a few assistants in a small studio, and is associated with a creative editor from a commercial publishing company. If a manga series is popular enough, it may be animated after or even during its run. Sometimes manga are drawn centring on previously existing live-action or animated films. The first anime published was broadcasted in 1917.

...The Development of Japanese Manga and AnimeManga is a Japanese word that is generally used to refer to comics or cartoons while Anime is a term used to refer to animation, also originating from Japan. The origin of manga can be traced to the 18th century. The word was used for the first time in 1798 in Japan to describe Shiji no yukikai, a picture book. The term resurfaced again in 1814 when it was used as the title of books written by Akinwai Minwa; Hokusai Manga and Manga Hyakujo. These books contained drawings that had been made by Hokusai, a famous Japanese woodlock print artist. The above facts dispel and clarify the popularised myth that manga was invented by Hokusai (McCloud 79). Schodta (152) explains that one millennium prior to the time Hokusai applied the term manga to a collection of his works, there already existed cartoonist drawings in Japan.
However, it is questionable if the styles used in these drawings qualified them to be described as manga. The definition of Will Eisner, an American cartoonist, of comics as sequential art provides a basis of making judgement. The picture scrolls that were found in medieval Japan are good examples of sequential art. Generally, they combine text and pictures to convey stories or describe events. The similarities between these scrolls and modern manga are how they...

A.
After a thorough analysis and careful consideration regarding the factors and conditions that have been set forth in the text, it is reasonable to come to the following conclusions:
Pinnacle has a variety of areas that are of concern when performing and audit and verifying good financial practices. It seems that Pinnacle is at a crossroads when it comes to their technological future within the energy industry and that these decisions are affecting a number of practices throughout Pinnacle. Management integrity is being compromised when a Vice President of the company is directly contracting employees from a business his wife owns. This in and of itself seems like a conflict of interest all across the board especially being that the Vice President feels the need to wear the t-shirt around work and opening express the relationship he has with the company. Moreover, the fact that Pinnacle is approving internals loans is deeply concerning while also allowing it’s employees to do construction work in it’s building’s addition rather than the appropriate construction company. Management seems to have cultivated an environment that allows such activities that may in some eyes be an alarming lapse of integrity. Also,...
